My name is ARCHPUB and I will be your server.

Hello everyone. This post will be your go-to for instructions on
  • how to get onto the server
  • working on the file
  • creating a memberfolder
  • submitting new content
How do I get on the server?
1. find a Mac
2. open the Finder and hit "apple-k"
3. choose "caed1"
4. login. username: "(see e-mail)" / password: "(see e-mail)"
5. select "ARCH"
6. select "Courses" > "ARCHPUB" > "0608_ARCHPUB"

From here you'll find the master file and other pertinent publication folders. The InDesign file we'll be using stands alone in the "masterfile" folder.

How do I work on the file?
7a. drag it to your desktop
8a. complete the intended work
9a. drag it back onto the server and replace the existing file

How do I create a memberfolder?
7b. select "memberfolders"
8b. click "File" > "New Folder" (or hit shift-apple-n)
9b. title the folder using your name (eg: justin reinhart = "justinreinhart")

How should I submit new content?
Follow the instructions above to get onto the server. Once you're on, you'll see a folder titled "pages." Within this folder is a series of other folders:
> ARCHIVEpages
> extracurricular
> facultyarticles
> hearstlectures
> studentwork1_4
> thesiswork5
> travel


These folders will act as drop-boxes, in which you will submit new content. The graphic design group (GDG) will then access the content, place and format it into the master file, then put it into its respective folder in the "ARCHIVEpages" folder. When you submit new content, label the folder using the following format:

"projectname"_yymmdd
(eg: Vellum2007_071026)
